live from moscow this is archie with me to bob would say it's good to have your company with us today. in a last ditch attempt to rescue cypress a from bankruptcy president. says heading to brussels to meet e.u. officials that's as his country struggles to meet the conditions for a ten billion euro bailout the super parliament has ponce a number of bills covering key elements of the rescue plan but that wasn't enough which is that is why the troika officials cyprus has had to deliver a decision on the plan that most controversial aspects proposed tax on bank deposits which just spot an outrage and panic across the nation the deadline is on monday when the european central bank warns it will cut off emergency funding to cypriot banks if no deal is reached archies test as you'll hear reports and spoke to people on the streets of the cypriot capital. here with me to avoid the

protesters for the past two days here in cyprus ever since the announcement over the last week at the end of it what will be giving them ten billion euros in bailout conditions that they were willing to accept and it's really been a combination of very fast the jury rating and bad news for cypriots and to some slow moving developments of finding solutions to the problems that they're facing now there's really a cash problem in the country the banks are going to going to be close until next week many people have already gone out to the streets tried to get some money from the a.t.m.'s that people gather here it's really an interesting mix so there are some people worried for the possibility of losing their jobs their status of foreigners with called cyprus home or worried about their savings so we spoke to some of them and here's what they had to say the banking crisis has affected us to know we can get the money we've earned who work inside most were not jobless who can't cash out of a.t.m. machines. we've invested our money into the economy in cyprus but they could cut us

off or what are the grounds for that is not going to post a few more of the dinner we have to get out of the euro but we will stay home how they would pay us and our kids. and we don't accept treats it would be no development we use and nobody would come to cyprus and us not well part of it is actually just a few metres from the garden those guys over there beyond the barricades the people who have come out to the streets really want to get the forces heard by the leaders who make their way to problem with to those meetings and come up with solutions for the country and this is being be a common sight now in many troubled it was old nations people coming out to the streets in the past few days many of the people i've spoken to said that the one question on their minds is how is this going to go on and really we want to know when will that solution finally be found reporting from the sea of cyprus and us or sylvia. the escalating crisis in cyprus is sending shivers all across of the eurozone and the next cry. to merge it could be another small economy struggling

with a heavily indebted bank sector. the i.m.f. says that baghdad is increasing among some state run banks let's take a look at this of the bad three of the country's leading banks was fifteen point six percent of their total loans into eleven but that's where they actually rose to twenty point five percent last year now it equates around seven billion the g.d.p. that's twenty percent of the nation's g.d.p. the emerging markets analyst. says so very i may be seeking of the bailout in that the second part of this. the cypriot crisis will have broad based impacts across the eurozone and of course the wider region but one country that stands out in particular. has been standing out as a potential candidate for seeking international bailout for much of the past year and now that we have had the crisis in cyprus form of the proposed bailout and a potential tax on deposits it really creates increases fears of what an

international bailout might entail so you want to want to bear in mind going forward as long as it's not shut from international markets and i don't think it is they will be fine and they won't have to bail out the condition which would trigger . having to seek international bailout is if the current political turmoil and carries on and effectively. shut out of international markets that. might have to seek international bailout and i think the stress points will become visible towards the second half of the year when running out of cash. thousands of syrians paying their last respects to a prominent sunni cleric killed by a suicide bomber in a damascus mosque on thursday sheikh mohammad saeed ramadan was also a prominent supporter of the battled president bashar assad let's now get the latest from a journalist dilemma was unique in the syrian capital

a prominent sunni muslim cleric who was killed in this attack a do you think he was specifically targeted of course there's no doubt that he was targeted everybody knows in damascus that he delivers a listen. this time and he has many schoolers who come any of his students come at this time in every week it has been there this is a tradition has been there for more than let's say ten fifteen years now and everyone knows that he doesn't miss this this is very sick or he's outside of the country and such kind of appointment usually announced to the forehead so everyone knows this and it's sometimes that on air it's the first he started for sure it's the first attack on a mosque since the uprising began there do the public still believe that the struggle is justified. no it's not. back to this history of the brazing that's going on in syria many. clergymen

or let's say muslim school who are not with the opposition were targeted or were killed because remember a few names for example like mr assad and others were killed because of him because of because of having an opinion different done the. opposition but everybody believes that what happened is unjustified and cannot be explained president to us i've said that he wants to find the perpetrators and make an example that this is terrorism and it should not be happening who do you think is behind the attack on the mosque and specifically on the cleric. if you could i would believe that the opposition is in the one responsible for this we have extremist groups systemic splinter group jihad these who are fighting against the government and the mr booty before he was killed last friday in his last speech he said that we should fight with our with the syrian army and you

should not fight with with this opposition groups so this raises a lot of controversy and controversy and discussion in the syrian society and this lead into this killing and we have mr kind of down the permanent sunni. spoiler who lives in he said beforehand that all people who are with division in even muslim schools should be killed if they are supporting the government to supporting the syrian government so this is the context of this killing abdullah if you. obviously in damascus you witnessed at this funeral proceedings what was the mood like what were the people like what was being said everybody was. everybody was angry everybody said that he should not be killed he is one of the most famous muslim leader in syria everybody said that he did not make a crime he did not kill anyone he just delivered his opinion if you are making and i praise the king for freedom he has the freedom to say whatever he wants that's

that's what everybody says that even so someone in his age he's eighty four years old he's not fighting should be should not be killed at all and this is a crime even people a position. people support for the government agreed that this should not be done that way at least. right. thank you there live from damascus joining us they giving us an insight on the funeral processions of the cleric who died during the moscow bombing now he died along the china's top tightening we're going to move on to our next story china is tightening its energy security with the help of russia moscow agreed to to double oil supplies to its eastern neighbor in return for a two billion dollar learn from beijing along with other deals of the two poles also want to do a political change with the new chinese president saying time is a with the russia will help bring about a third world order are going to be in applying the shooting pains of first official overseas trip. some of the major points that the chinese leader has also

made of course was about the cooperation between russia and china among other things that the two countries also agree on is the fact that it is about time to leave the old stereotypes behind he said that we're living in the twenty first century and therefore the cold war era is gone and over with and therefore this theory types and thinking along those lines also has to go and he also mentioned that course russia and china are there cooperation will provide for a day or world order he also mentioned of course the need to not just to move away from syria types but also to move towards the mall to for world and the multiple larry to be of the world is also one of the founding principles of bricks of course brics essentially was a trade and economic organization but it is now moving increasingly towards becoming a major geo political player and that is going to be one of the main subjects of discussions during an upcoming brick summit in south africa and yet despite of

course there are many agreements on the political level russia and china still have several things that they need to work on and the moment those things is the gas supplies deal from russia to china which has been in the works for ten years and it does look like during this visit russia and china have made some headway towards finding a solution but the details of the deal are yet to be figured out and it is expected that those details will come up until the end of the year but of course the chinese leader said that russia and china nevertheless are each other's biggest partner and are this the seeing eye to eye on a lot of issues and cooperation is something that the two countries are going not just to continue but we'll all start he said that his trip there is a symbolic significance by happening in march because the leave their hopes that he will see some very good fruits or in forth from the seeds that he has so on during this visit. more now on the story with geo political analyst so william and dahl

who's also the author of the myths lies and all was missing and our dollar how much a way to do you give to the fact that the russia was a season pains our first official trip abroad i think the fact that russia was the first choice visit for the new president is a huge geopolitical significance it sends a signal to the united states to washington has been very. bristly in an increasingly militarily hostile which i'm in the last few years with the asia pivot so-called and it also brings together the one combination that i think for china is the only winning combination where it can create a kind of weight to the growing hostility from from they don't from the united states and that is the regime in combination with russia and china is the fulcrum of that we know that china is one of the world's consumers a high as consumers of energy and now russia as rosneft is now the largest oil

producer a in the world was also interested in having beijing growing economically. so i can hear the less part of you why why why is moscow interested in having beijing grow economically well the growth of beijing or the growth of china really is this is the future growth of russia if you if you look at the resources of each country and it's a beautifully match situation there are frictions of course but i think these frictions can be dealt with but the. what russia has to bring to the table is but essentially for china and that is energy security over pipeline land routes gas and oil primarily and at a time when the china's african oil sources are being increasingly put under pressure from africa on ensued and in libya and elsewhere and so this is this is a very very crucial thing for china to get this right with russia for russia it

also is an extremely important orientation to what to president putin calls the new year asian. direction of the russian economy focusing increasingly on building up the eurasian space and i think the the chinee he's have already begun with the land bridges railroad high speed rail road bridges for transportation linkages across china. partly through russian and western europe all the way to the to holland and i think that can form the other is if you will of a of a new really a new economy on the planet over the next twenty or fifty years up and that is the original answer to his will to go i talk sometimes about an iron triangle beijing moscow and tehran because you might hand the land space that that encompasses have linked with with high speed rail infrastructure especially not not oceangoing but real so that it's contiguous you have the potential to create one of the most.

healthy and fastest growing economic. it's in the world as a time when europe is struggling when the united states is in depression so not only will they be helping each other economically but do you think politically china needs russia or russia needs china what do you make of that they both need each other if if russia and china are put it odds against each other now then the game is over and then you have the what the pentagon calls full spectrum dominance where there's no contender to sole superpower germany from washington i think that's a very unhealthy state of the world both for the for china for russia for the rest of the world but also for the united states that too much power concentrated in too few hands is always a danger to world peace so the china needs russia because china lacks certain things that russia has not only wrong materials it lacks the scientific know

russian science. during the cold war was still in the hood of the premisses parts alliance there was no competition in the west in terms of basic science and then he still is on the table to. get political analyst william and author of myths lies and all was giving us his insight on the same place a british received in place of visit to moscow thank you for that. i don't no way a blackout a behind the ball value was officials continue to dumb play the scale of a mass of hundreds like it one time obey the pentagon now wants to expand the notorious facility. so with the u.k. all walking a triple dip recession type tribal border has warned of a fortune on translations for immigrants the details of that adjust to hate. wealthy british soil such. as my time to write for.

i hour. this is o.t. lawyers of the hunger strike in detainees at guantanamo bay claim they're being denied access to their clients the situation is said to be life threatening as more than one hundred captives have reportedly been starving themselves whole month and hard for u.s. officials that downplayed the allegations on the scale of the crisis and all president obama has still not kept his promise to close the detention center the military is now asking for more money to upgrade the facility as art is gonna judge again reports. the spokesperson for guantanamo robert zubrin responded to our tease inquiry here's what he writes as of friday the twenty second of march twenty thirty and we have twenty six hunger strike is with eight receiving and will feeds this is

an increase from thursday which was twenty five in eight we have two detainees in the detainee hospital for rehydration an observation on mental feed last time robert during got back to us was last week also on friday saying there were fourteen detainees who refused all food although defense attorneys had been saying there were many more on the rubber due and says there are twenty six we cannot independently verify these numbers or any of this so we have to rely on the response that we get from the officials and the detainees lawyers and here's the latest from the attorneys apparently there are now denied direct access to their clients in one tunnel attorneys say they had a visit scheduled for early next week with one of the clients who lost thirty pounds that's almost fourteen telegrams since the strike began at the beginning of february that visit was approved by the military but the lawyers say they've just been informed by the authorities that they cannot visit the client because the military flight scheduled for next week was canceled also most recently the navy decided to discontinue commercial flights to the camp sauterne is

a really struggling to find out the true extent of what's happening in guantanamo now and not just the attorneys but we journalists those well i spoke with a lawyer who was denied access to a client in guantanamo this week she told me there is a says among defense attorneys that they are being deliberately ignored by the authorities so as today there is nothing that we can do we have sent e-mails to the to the department to bear arms to the commander. asking them. to talk to us about the detainees condition and we have heard no response so there is a sense of helplessness among the attorneys as well a few months ago the state department shut down the office that was working to close the prison and on top of it the u.s. south and. command and that's the command that oversees guantanamo has just requested forty nine million dollars tool building new prison building at guantanamo bay for quote unquote special detainees on top of other renovations it says are necessary since washington decided to keep it open indefinitely the

military said the potential taxpayer bill for upgrading the deteriorating facilities would be almost one hundred ninety six million dollars and all of this effectively means that the detainees are stuck in this legal limbo indefinitely but as galloway's says given guantanamo the face lift it will not change the human rights violations the prison camp where you are held without charge without drywall indefinitely where your lawyer has no right to see you where you have no rights of any kind can never be made more comfortable even if you put thick carpet big armchairs like we have in the british parliament in it it will never be comfortable it remains an outrage but the significance of the investment is this they wouldn't be spending tens of millions of new dollars on guantanamo if they didn't intend to keep it as a legal black hole when our so called illegal combatants are incarcerated

people by the way seized and kidnapped from around the world on tick and drugged and manacled in many cases this is the stuff of fiction but unfortunately it's fact in two thousand and thirteen in obama's america. egypt has been shaken by fierce clashes between opponents and supporters of the only muslim brotherhood outside the group's offices across the country some of the most intense pointing to place in the capital cairo leaving schools of people in jail but he gets to repel writers outside the brotherhood headquarters the this latest wave of anger at the group erupted last week when its members attacked journalists an opposition activist during a peaceful protest outside the building after that how are you spokesperson for egypt's opposition national salvation front says the government is on the brink of completely losing control of the country. the list of brotherhood government and morsi government is with standing its position of giving it deaf ear to any

claims of reform and to any claims of of opposition to. the very harmful policies in egypt. the record of morsi is a failure of managing the problems of the government of managing the problems of egypt it's a total failure of this government to the failure of this regime and it just has been stalling they're losing control over parts of egypt a lot of cities a lot of the ordinary city egypt are now rising up against the muslim brotherhood and against the government did not recognize the government as a lawful government that would. oversee the manage the day to day of government work. in other news making headlines around the world of the lebanese president formally accepted the resignation of his prime minister najib mikati along with his whole government to step down over a dispute with hezbollah the country has been locked in political stalemate ever

since of the shia group of blotter the creation of a supervisory board to oversee the next poem entry election is free or the move could further destabilize lebanon which is finding it increasingly difficult to prevent the syrian civil war from spilling over the border. mass protests have shaken the capital of bahrain where thousands of demonstrators are demanding the release of prominent human rights activists know bill this is the latest outbreak of popular dissent against the ruling want to calling for political reform in the oil rich kingdom the protest movement has seen up to eighty people killed and scores arrested since he dropped it in february two thousand and eleven. political correctness or maybe leaving british taxpayers out of pocket in an attempt to accommodate none english speaking immigrants one london council blue half a million pounds on translations that will never be read. to win to find out how locals feel about their hard earned money being lost in translation. for those who live in the u.k.

and don't speak english the british government's been understanding for the past several years that's because local councils translate information about that services into up to as many as seventy different languages so whether it's your pitch and feeding instructions and or do or leaflets about how to lose weight in a choice of punjab. it's available and courtesy of the u.k. taxpayer and this north london bar a hiring day the local town hall wasted almost wholesome million pounds translating documents that no one ended up reading leaflets included a school's guide and french somalians hawkish as well as a gay lesbian bisexual and transgender services directory and friends they meet reflects what they're doing and before they commit mass amounts of money terrible waste that is not right when i see people homeless on the streets. we need to get a mistress across however people from different backgrounds with english is

a second language flavor so got responsibility to learn english as well the minister for local government eric pickles says that the u.k.'s immigrants need to improve their english while local governments could do with brushing up on them mom according to pickles putting a stop to the exorbitant translations of public information could help to save money for persons on the me as well as help to improve the english of immigrants and help to integrate them into british society we need to start getting immigrants to work for the u.k. as opposed to the u.k. spending a lot of money on immigrants we should try and help them but not the extent of wasting it most account should have a policy of we shouldn't buy stuff for media stuff especially when budgets are really being cut translations across all public bodies cost the u.k. government one hundred forty million pounds a year the result is something the local government minister and the. it's simple situation when no one speaks english as their main language until many british

households they keep your local council news that fast and bengali arabic oh somali you might think about signing up to some english lessons otherwise it could all end up in greek t.v. . i see. coming up next and the kaiser report. there was a time in america when buses were officially segregated and today if they tried to resegregate the wall next to there would be outrage throughout the usa every t.v. channel and newspaper so segregation in america was wrong but no america funding

for via foreign aid seems to be a ok and jim dandy arab language leaflets have been spread around west bank in palestinian areas asking residents to start using special bus lines plans to put palestinians on separate bus lines were first announced in november of two thousand and twelve after some complaints by jewish settlers of trouble on the buses between passengers of different ethnicities in regards to the special bus lines it's really human rights groups but so i'm said the attempt to is appalling and the current arguments about security needs an overcrowding must not be allowed to camouflage blatant racism you know when south africa had apartheid they were slammed with sanctions including from the us but if you're israel go ahead and segregate all the buses you like and you'll still be the us is top recipient of foreign aid at three point one billion dollars a year if there's one thing i don't like it's hypocrisy like the. yes but that's

just my opinion. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report what he got for me today sweeney by max kaiser well i have command and control confiscation in crystal. the first headline is actually this is a newsletter sent to people in a housing association in manchester is from eastland homes can you really afford sky cigarettes bingo drinks and other nonessentials they live in an open air prison these are states and the government if they're not wanting to supply the prisoners with what little comfort they have and cigarettes and methamphetamine and bath salts.
